The distributive property is basically expanding brackets.

So if you take 3(x + 4) = 36 and remove the brackets (so multiplying out the 3), you get:

3x + 12 = 36

And from there you simplify :)

3x + 12 = 36

3x = 24

x = 8

The distributive property was used to multiply the 3 through the brackets, thus making the equation easier to solve I guess

Step-by-step explanation:

First you want to get the x's on the same side
3x-5=2x+6
subtract 2x and add 5
x=11

Hope this helps!

(25 + 19) + 15 = (19 + 25) + 15<br><br><br> What property is that equation
malfutka [58]

Answer:

Commutative Property

Step-by-step explanation:

It looks like Associative property which is when you change the GROUP, but actually it’s commutative because it didn’t change any numbers in the group, just the order of where they were.

Associative: (25 + 19) + 15 = (15 + 19) + 25

Commutative: (25 + 19) + 15 = (19 + 25) + 15

It didn’t change the numbers, only the order. Therefore, it would be commutative property
